What is Included // What to Expect

With an in person Reiki session, we will start by discussing some overall goals and intentions for your session. After setting intentions, I will charge up the Reiki energy and start the session, typically beginning at your head and working all the way down your body. Depending on the length of our session, I will have you flip from your back to your belly so I can give Reiki to the backside of your body as well. Throughout the session, you will feel my hands gently laying on you as I allow the Reiki to flow through my hands (If you prefer a hands-off approach, I can accommodate that and simply hover my hands over your body; the Reiki will still flow effectively). You will feel heat coming from my hands, a physical sign of energy flowing, as heat is energy. Other things you may feel during a session include a tingling sensation, pulsing, twitches, urges to swallow more than normal (typically when I’m working with your throat area), stomach gurgles (typically when I’m working on the torso area), waves of deep relief and relaxation, and even a radiating feeling of the energy dispersing into your body. All of these sensations are affirmations of the Reiki energy flowing through your body, negative energy exiting your body, and things moving around internally to help guide your body back to its ideal functioning state. Everyone’s experience varies slightly, so it’s ok if none of these sensations arise for you- it doesn’t mean the Reiki isn’t working! Related to this, if we are woking to release trauma and/or emotional blockages, the release can feel different for everyone. Common sensations during a trauma or emotional release include twitches, urges to draw the legs into the belly, waves of emotion, and/or instinctual urges to take deep breaths. Although this specific moment might feel intense, it is good for your body to allow the sensations to surface and consequently release. After a release, specifically emotional or trauma releases but can include normal energy blockage releases as well, follows a noticeable shift in your energy and aura and an intense feeling of deep gratitude, lightness, and love; or what I like to call an auric bloom.
